Even more impressive is Paul’s ability to control tempo and distribute shots. Paul orchestrates things offensively like few point guards who have come before him, as evidenced by Neil Paine of Basketball-Reference.com. Paine writes that Paul is scoring or assisting on 53.6% of his team’s field goals. Paul’s mark is 5.9% greater than his nearest challenger and .1% higher than Tiny Archibald’s record 53.5%.

Does it make any sense that when I PLAY basketball I get really emotional and almost downright nasty sometimes, but I can’t STAND NBA players that play that way?

CP3 is that way – and I want to see him lose so bad because of it.

He’s a baller – but i still think his hesitation dribble is a travel. :)

Isn’t it amazing that 3 players are having HISTORIC seasons IN THE SAME SEASON?

Seriously, D Wade is having one of the best seasons ever, CP3 is having one of the best seasons ever, and LeBron is having an even better season that both of them and is on pace to have statistically the best season of all time. (oh and he’s playing unreal defense)

I agree with Kenny Smith – the talent in the NBA is really high right now.

Basketballogy – Good to hear. Paul is probably my favorite player to watch right now.

Tsunami – CP3, LeBron, and D. Wade are playing great basketball. It’s still early, but they’ve been the best players in the NBA thus far.

I think the late 80’s, early 90’s was the greatest era in NBA history. Today’s NBA is fast approaching that caliber of play. I don’t know if we’re there yet, but I think we’ll get there in a year or two.
